At same time that a center does not exists it exists. Take a line between the two sides from the theoretical border, divide in the middle and will be a center.

At same time that a center does not exists it exists. Take a line between the two sides from the theoretical border, divide in the middle and will be a center. But isn't a center.
- pdonis 4y ago> Take a line between the two sides from the theoretical border There is no "border" to our universe. The fact that you have trouble visualizing such models does not mean they don't exist.
- tick_tock_tick 4y agoThere is an "effective" border because of speed of light limits. Technically we are "at the center" of our intractable universe.
- pdonis 4y ago> Technically we are "at the center" of our intractable universe. We are at the center of our observable universe, yes, but that fact does not support any of the claims I have been responding to in this thread.
- adelarsq 4y agoBut if the matter on the big bang was limited wouldn't a limit on the universe size based on how much matter exists?
- pdonis 4y ago> if the matter on the big bang was limited It wasn't, according to our best current model. In that model the universe is spatially infinite and always has been, so it contains an infinite quantity of matter. > wouldn't a limit on the universe size based on how much matter exists There are mathematical models in which the universe has a finite size and contains a finite amount of matter. (These models are not completely ruled out by our current data, but they are considered very unlikely as compared to the ones in which the universe is spatially infinite.) However, even in those models, the universe has no boundary: it is spatially a 3-sphere, which has a finite volume and no boundary similar to the way the surface of the Earth, a 2-sphere (at least approximately) has a finite area and no boundary.
